ffgen

A command-line wrapper for the fontfacegen package

Installation

Prerequisites: FontForge

Installing it on MacOS is easy with Brew

$ brew install fontforge

Afterwards, you can install ffgen easily with npm

The above will isolate the command to your current project directory. If you want to use ffgen system-wide, install it globally with the -g tag in npm

$ npm install -g ffgen

$ ffgen assets/fonts/my-custom-font.otf

The above will output the following into a folder at assets/fonts/my-custom-font/:

• my-custom-font.css
• my-custom-font.eot
